For hubby and me, we were in Novena Church celebrating a Thanksgiving mass. Thanking and reflecting on what God has bless us with for the pass year. After the mass, we had a countdown, ushering in the brand new, hot-from-the-oven 2007.So, yups. My FIRST minute was with my loved ones and friends, surrounded by God's people in Novena church.
There was a HUGE life size Nativity being erected just beside the church. Very nice and very big!!Blame my sucky HP camera for not capturing a nicer shot! Argg!!!
Before
mass, we met up early and had dinner at Velocity aka Novena Square. Went to this restaurant called the "Magic Wok" or something at level 3. Cheap and not bad. Total of 9 of us and we only spent less than $74!! And we had so much food, Thai Pineapple rice, veg, prawns, sotong, tom yam soup. So stuffed out after that!!
Best of all, we were given a little cozy corner where we can see the whole of the restaurant. It was made to look like a cottage kind of feeling. Nice and comfortable!We had the whole corner to ourselves and we all just sat there and yakked and laughed. Think we made the most noice!! hahaa.. But it felt good to be catching up with each other. Though we see each other in church often but it's not the same coz there isn't time to do the same kind of fellowship before or after mass.
Isn't it nice and peaceful looking? There were even 'grapevines' and 'lantern' hanging down from the structure. Quite nice hor?Also went for coffee after mass at the kopitiam opp the church with the same bunch of people.
Luckily, we still managed to get a bus home even though it was soooo late. I must say our transport system is good, they extend the working hours. Poor drivers and all.. got to work so much harder because of us!
Managed to reach home at close to 2am. Settled down and blog this.
What were you doing when 2007 crept in? And who were you with?
Ours was a peaceful, blessful and holy countdown. Spent with loved ones in the house of God. =)
